Answer:
Here's one way to do it.
Step-by-step explanation:
-24 ÷ (-4)
-24 is the final number on the number line
-4 means you count by 4s on the number line moving backwards.
- Start at 0 facing forward.
- Move backwards in steps of four units from 0 to -24.
- Count the number of steps you took (six).
Answer: +6 (The sign is + because you are still facing forward).
Given:
The table of values is:
x : -7 -5 -3 -1
y : 5 9 13 17
To find:
Whether the given data is linear and then find the equation.
Solution:
The given data is linear if the slope and rate of change is constant.
Slope formula:
Using the slope formula. we get
Since the rate of change is constant, i.e., 2, therefore the given data is linear.
The slope of a linear equation is 2 and it passes through the point (-7,5). So, the equation of the line is:
Adding 5 on both sides, we get
Therefore, the equation for the given data is .
